Question

a grain silo has a cylindrical shape. its radius is 8 ft, and its height is 32 ft. what is the volume of the silo?
use the value 3.14 for π, and round your answer to the nearest whole number.
be sure to include the correct unit in your answer.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the volume of a cylinder

The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cylinder is \( V=\pi r^{2}h \), where \( r \) is the radius and \( h \) is the height.

Step2: Substitute the given values into the formula

Given \( r = 8\) ft, \( h=32\) ft, and \( \pi = 3.14\).

Step3: Perform the multiplications

First, \( 3.14\times64 = 200.96\).
Then, \( 200.96\times32=6430.72\).

Answer:

\(6431\) \(ft^{3}\)
